Reviews

This authoritative, well-written narrative history of ancient Macedonia, from its early days to absorption by Rome, is sorely needed, and will become a staple of university courses to do with ancient Greece and Macedonia. The numerous illustrations help to bring the text alive, and a stand-alone chapter on the Macedonian military helps to show how and why the army was the most feared and successful before that of Rome.- Professor Ian Worthington, University of Missouri, USA
